[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 6241990, member: 110226"]This is the first coin that I have seen with what appears to be epoxy or some kind of resin filling cracks on the obverse. There's none on the reverse. Epoxy yellows with age. Plus, the yellow areas have a very resin-like quality to them. I can only think that this was done to reinforce the metal, which might be quite brittle. Still, this very strange to me. Has anyone seen this done to other coins? Thanks [ATTACH=full]1247159[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
